Pushback info During pushback, the driver did not receive “brakes released, ready to push” from the crew before beginning pushback. As a result, the towbar shear pin was broken. Pushback was halted and a 65-minute delay was incurred. Contributing factors: There were multiple aircraft on the ground due to irrops. The affected aircraft was parked at an unfamiliar gate. Wording to use: Pushback operator to Captain: “Ready to push, release brakes when ready.” Captain to pushback operator: (If NOT ready) “Negative...standby.” Captain to pushback operator: (If ready) “Brakes released, ready to push.”
